The end the wait has not been long, TRUE? We already have the official details of the Google's video game streaming service, so we are going to review each of the main points so that they are very clear to you for the future. These are all the details of Google Stadia.
What is Google Stadia?
By now you should have things clear, but we are going to review the concepts so that there are no doubts. Stadia is a streaming service created by Google after several years of work between different Google teams with which you can play next-generation games without the need for a console. You only need an internet connection and a gamepad to start playing.
If it's streaming... will it look good?
Google guarantees maximum quality games with 4K resolution and a rate of 60 images per second, a performance that is similar to that offered by high-performance computers and the latest generation consoles, with the exception that in the case of Google only we will need a common computer with a Chrome browser or a Chromecast.
How much does Stadia cost?
That was one of the big questions that had to be resolved today, and it has been. The service Stadia Pro It will arrive at a price of 9,99 euros per month, a subscription that will allow us to access a good catalog of games with resolution 4K is 60 fpshowever, large triple AAA releases will require an extra payment. But beware that there is good news, since there will be a free version.

It is a pack of 129 euros with which users will receive a Chromecast Ultra, the official Stadia controller (in an exclusive black color), a copy of Destiny 2, three months of subscription to the Stadia Pro service and the possibility of choosing the name of your avatar exclusively.
If you want an additional controller, you will need to pay $69.

The free version of Stadia, what limitations does it have?
The giant has confirmed that from 2020 a free version will be available to all users that will allow Stadia to be played at 1080p resolution. In any case, it is important to emphasize that these 1080p games will be those that you purchase separately, since the free catalog will only be available to those who have the monthly subscription Stadia Pro.
In which countries will Stadia be available at launch?
At the moment, the countries that will receive Stadia at the end of 2019 are Belgium, Finland, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Google has explained it very well in the presentation. The optimal connection to play 4K / 60fps will be 35 mbps, although if your connection is lower, the connection will adjust up to 720p resolutions (where we will play at 60 images per second and with stereo sound).

No. Google Stadia is compatible with Xbox One controllers and other similar controllers (and even with keyboard and mouse). The advantage of using the official controller is that it makes a Wi-Fi connection with your router to reduce response time, in addition to having specific buttons to call the Google assistant, record a screenshot, etc.

How much will we have to pay for the games?
That is one of the questions that remains unanswered to this day. Google has presented a large list of games, but on their official website they make it very clear that the games will be purchased. How much? That we would like to know. For now the only thing we know is that the subscription Stadia Pro will offer free games regularly, and the first to release the service will be Destiny 2. Does this mean that we will only get one game a month like Xbox Live Gold, Playstation Plus and the Epic Games store? We'll see.
When will it be available?
Google Stadia will arrive on 19 of November with an official price of 9,99 per month. The free version won't be available until 2020, so if you want to try Google's streaming game experience, you'll have to pay the fee for now. Of course, at least you won't have to wait too long.
Mark your calendars! Stay will start arriving November 19.
